Might be interested in taking Gump in a few summers. Head out of
Seattle as a point, or meet in Vancouver off Canada hwy 1

I'm working on my 300D-owning workmate. He wanted to bike across

not to. This is a little more do-able. If my aunt Lois did it, I sure
as hell can!
I'll keep track of those interested.
We would DEFINITELY need to memorialize it with a website.
We would need a rendezvous point too...or points, depending on where
people are coming from.

A few years ago, my dad's cousin and her
husband drove the Dalton Highway to Deadhorse,
Alaska...some 4,000+ miles from Kansas City in
a camper. You can drive within 3 miles of the
Arctic Ocean and from there a bus takes you to
the Ocean...Prudhoe Bay to be exact. Usually
about freezing even in the summer. The Dalton
Highway is mostly gravel, hard on cars
(particularly windshields and headlights), etc.
Tons of articles on line and picture galleries.

Anyone interested in an "Arctic-Q"? Not
really able to do this any time soon - maybe
this coming summer...or the following
summer...but I have been thinking about it and
thought I would throw it out for
thoughts, reactions, ideas, etc. Could be very
interesting as a multi-car caravan...we could
carry lots of tools and spare parts between
several vehicles in addition to all the other
stuff - spare tires, food, water, clothes for
the arctic blasts that can come at any time, etc.
